The star of True Detective and Magic Mike admits that he is playing a bit of a heightened version of himself on the NBC reality show, a man clad in leopard print Versace. It's a representation of DONDI as a concept: Fighting it out in the animalistic environment of Banker's Island in the pursuit of future luxuries and millions of dollars in winnings. And in tonight's finale, one contestant, David Genat or Alexis Lete, will get the chance to play the Banker (revealed on Friday to be Chrissy Teigen) and get their own chance in the lap of luxury.
Manganiello is also, however, a huge fan of games. His love of tabletop RPGs, in particular Dungeons & Dragons, has been well-documented. And so, while he is giving the look of a European "man of mystery," he's carefully balancing the freedom and boundaries the contestants are playing in, not unlike a dungeon master.
Every episode of DONDI exists in two different spheres. The first half consists of an "Excursion" challenge and is chock full of social strategy that has been the building block of reality TV for 25 years. It's there where reality TV vets like Survivor legend Parvati Shallow, Big Brother icon Dr. Will Kirby, and Australian Survivor champ David Genat shine.
